Burning Music issue

I was planning on burning some music from iTunes on to a cd, so i put the cd in, and I put all of the disc info in. When I pressed "burn" it said "disc burner or software not found." What does this mean, and how can I fix it?

Post over in the iTunes forum area. 
This area is for iPod Nano technical issues.

  • DVD not burning music issue

    Can anyone help me. I've encountered a very odd problem. I exported a slide show with a music from Iphoto. It's now in quicktime and when I imported it into IDVD it plays with the music and during the preview. It even plays when I open it in quicktime with the music. But the problem arises when I attempt to burn the file through IDVD to a disc. I've tried each time and each time unsuccessfully the audio portion of the slide (which has the music) doesn't burn onto the dvd. The slide show with images burns perfectly, but not the music. Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I am having the exact same problem with this slight variation. I made the slide show in Keynote. The music is a soundtrack I downloaded from iTunes. Everything works perfect in preview. When I burn the DVD, the music works fine when the menu is on screen, but when you go to play the slideshow, it stops. So I tried burning it again but this time with the slideshow starting automatically. Again, no music during slideshow, but when you stop the slideshow and go to the menu, the music starts. Arghhh!!!!

  • Burning music CD fails

    Hi,
    I've been having problem with burning music CD from iTunes.
    I tried variety of CD-R's (Verbatim, Memolex, Maxell, Office Deipot brand, etc) . Sometimes Memolex works with very low speed (2X), but most of times fails with other brands.
    What I saw is that iTunes prepared songs successfully but after start burning progress bar didn't move at all (for tens of minutes) and looked waiting for response from CD-R devices.
    I tried with 2 machines below.
    1. Mac mini (Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz, 1GB memory) with PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K06RS: (replaced from factory part), OS 10.5.8
    2. Macbook (Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz, 2GB memory) with HL-DT-ST DVDRW GS21N (LG?) (Apple shipping device), OS10.5.8
    iTunes version is 10.6.3.
    Does anyone have same problem and/or solution?
    Best regards,

    I'm so sorry that I was confused for reporting.
    Actually Macbook worked fine. Issue exists only on Mini.
    So please let me clarify issue again here:

  • Unable to Play some burned Music

    I have previously burned music from CD's to my Itunes Library, that I have played with no problems. Recently I found many of my tracks had exclamation marks after them with the error message saying, they couldn;t be played because the original songs weren't available. Would I like to find them? When I hit 'Yes', previous downloads for specific dates came up but they would not open. So it seems they have been deleted by I Tunes.
    The Songs I can't play are ones where I didn't specify a particular artist. I can still play songs ok where the Artist's name was put in. What is the cause of this problem??! I downloaded the most recent ITUNE 7.5 after this problem occured, but no change.

  • I'm also having a music issue.  When my phone is attached to the computer (mac running 10.6.8) it looks like my music is there but its gray and I can't play anything.  I've tried to delete it and it won't let me but it does not show up on my phone.

    By the way, I have tried shutting of the display switching in the power settings.  That was basically the only real answer I found anywhere.  It didn't work.

  • How can I burn music from my iTunes library to CD, while still keeping the track info intact?

    I made several CDs for a friend, but when my friend imported the disc into iTunes none of the track names showed up (it just said "Track 1", "Track 2", etc.) This is annoying because it was 8 CDs worth of music (over 150 songs!)
    Is there a software or any tool I can use that will allow me to burn music for friends, while still keeping the track info intact?

  • Why won't my computer burn music onto blank CDs

    I am trying to burn music onto my blank CD but a notification will pop up saying "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the lazer power level fo this media." Sometimes it is able to burn music onto the CD though. Any ideas how to fix this?

    Try:
    - A lens cleaning disc to clean dust off the laser lenses,
    - A slower burn speed
    - Better quality CDs
    - It is also possible your drive is faiiling and will need replacing or you use an external Superdrive.

  • Burning music and video as data files onto DVD-R?

    How can I (using what program) burn music and videos to a DVD-R on my MBP? To be clear, I just want to use the DVD's as storage, not to watch them on a DVD player
    Thanks (and sorry for the potentially stupid question)

    Put a CD-R in your optical drive. Drag the files you want onto the disk icon and then drag the disk to the trash. That'll burn the files onto the disk. Real simple.

  • Burning Music Problem

    I have just ruined 6 discs trying to burn a cd from a playlist on my Itunes site . What am I doing wrong ? I have an opening for a disc in the front and I was told I could burn music so I would love some help on this . The iTunes is the update 7.7.1. I have burned music before off the XP program on Itunes so why cannot I do it on this laptop too ??

    Just to clarify...have you tried to play the burned CDs on the computer? Not all car players and other CD players will play one of these burned audio CDs. (I just want to confirm that the problem is actually with burning and not the player itself.)
    I'm running out of ideas, I'm sorry to say. A couple of more questions, though. What file type are the songs in the playlist? (purchased from iTunes, imported from your own CDs? AAC, lossless, MP3?)
    Also...you might try logging in on your computer from another user account. You probably won't have an iTunes library there, but you could import a couple of songs and try to burn from the different account. Sometimes the User account on the Mac will get corrupt in some way and cause problems. Trying this would be another way to narrow down the problem by process of elimination.
    If you don't have another account created that you can log in under and don't know how to create one, post back.

  • Cant burn music files on CDs

    I am having trouble burning music cds using the burner. The music will initially burn but after listening to the disc I realize the quality becomes poor including lots of skipping, especially towards the end of the disc. I use a standard cd-r and never surpass capacity.
    Is there a way to fix this problem or should I send my mac in?

  • Is it possible to burn music to thumb drive?

    Is it possible to burn music to thumb drive?

    Jaywalt,
    Adding files to a thumb drive does not require burning, only copying.
    The easiest way is to insert the drive into a USB port,  highlight the tracks you want in iTunes, and then drag them to the thumb drive.
    If you normally run iTunes in full screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag.

  • My macbook pro Retina has got a burn-in issue.

    My macbook pro Retina has got a burn-in issue. The device is out of warranty. I reset PRAM but it didn't help.

    As per with any computer, a very basic rule of thumb... The more ram. The higher processor speed... The faster and more efficient your machine will be.  And since processor upgrades are relatively difficult to do if you're not familiar with the hardware... Then I'd go with a ram upgrade (ie getting more assuming you're not already maxed out)
    But shy of any of that, just clean up.  Any photo albums, videos, documents you dont need or use anymore.. back them up ten delete them.  The same thing with extra apps or programs.  Think of it his way, the heavier your backpack gets, the slower you're going to walk.  Lighten the backpack, the easier and faster you can walk.  So start by cleaning house.  (personally I'm a big fn of or matting and re-installing everything every now and again.  It may be overkill, but it's one of the best ways to clean.
    Start with the free and easy.  If you don't get results that you like then go on to some options that have a price tag

  • Burning music onto a dvd

    I want to burn music and back up my library onto dvds.  when I start it the Itune software becomes unresponsive and freeze.  What can I do to solve this problem, when on the program it say a backup can be performed with cd/dvd. 

    I think you'll find that when you burn a very short video (therefore a small DVD size wise) then it tkaes longer as the burner is writing the "lead-out" and has to fill the disc up to a certian point or it won't play properly.
    I could be wrong but I think that's why it takes the time.
